Static lib as project dependency of another linux app

[Lonko]

Dear,

i use the following scenario:
1. i have a project for static library
2. i have a project for linux application
3. i use project dependency and include the static lib into my linux app
4. i get link errors

The link errors are because visualgdb adds in my case staticlib.a to the end of linking and i get all sorts of unresolved sybols (libdl, libcrypto….

If i manualy move the custom static lib in front of all other shared or static libs then it works…

So my question is, is my problem isolated or does Visualgdb has a problem with project dependency as it should probably automaticly put the static lib first in order…

Best regards,
Lonko

Hi,

VisualGDB uses grouping flags for libraries in its generated makefiles to avoid any dependency order issues. In your .mak files do you have the following specified?

START_GROUP := -Wl,--start-group
END_GROUP := -Wl,--end-group
